[CLBS] Choice of Filing Location?

[Randal French]

The Courts automatically set the case for the area in which the debtor lives.

LBR 5005.1 says in part:

Northern Calendar (Coeur d'Alene):

Matters before the court and § 341(a) meeting of creditors: Federal Building & U.S. Courthouse, 6450 N. Mineral Dr, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai, Shoshone.


If you have a debtor states a false address and county in the petition, one might think the debtor is starting off on a bad foot.

All,

This is a new one for me, and I don’t know that it is directly addressed in the Local Rules. Debtor lives in CdA but wants to file in Boise. Does not have property or own a business in Ada County. Can the debtor do it?
